Service signs are blue and indicate nearby services including hospitals, call boxes, telephones, places to eat, and rest areas.

A pentagon-shaped sign tells you there is a school nearby. Children are often not careful around traffic and may not understand the dangers of moving vehicles. Paying attention to these signs and slowing down can help you avoid a potentially deadly situation. Do not forget that the school speed limit in most states is 20-25 mph. Consult your state's Drivers Handbook for details.

More information on controlling risks associated with flammable and combustible liquids under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 is available in the Managing risks of hazardous chemicals in the workplace code of practice 2021 (PDF, 1.21 MB).

The GHS classifications are in Schedule 11 where the prescribed quantities are listed for placarding and manifest thresholds. However, the manifest and placards must reflect the ADG code information as described in Schedule 12 and 13, respectively.

When the DON'T WALK or RAISED HAND appears, you may not start across the street. The flashing signal means you should not begin to cross because you may not have enough time to make it to the other side before vehicles start moving across your path. If the flashing starts after you have already started to cross, you may finish crossing the street.

The globally harmonised system for the classification and labelling of chemicals (GHS) defines a flammable liquid as a liquid having a flash point of not more than 93°C.

At many traffic signals, you need to push the pedestrian push button to receive the WALK or WALKING PERSON signal. At a crossing where there are no pedestrian signals, pedestrians must obey the red, yellow, or green signal lights.

Hazardous atmospheres are often associated with confined spaces. More information on hazards and risk controls associated with confined spaces can be found in the Confined spaces (PDF, 1.43 MB) code of practice 2021.

Various notifications for hazardous chemicals are required under the WHS Regulation which are relevant to the use, storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids including for:

The WRONG WAY sign may accompany the DO NOT ENTER sign. This rectangular red and white sign is a traffic regulatory sign. If you see one or both of these signs, drive to the side and stop; you are going against traffic. When safe, back out or turn around and go back to the road you were on. (At night, road reflectors will shine red in your headlights when you are going the wrong way.)

A red octagon (eight-sided) STOP sign means you must make a full stop before entering the intersection, crosswalk, or driving past the white stop line.

The safe storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids is now covered by requirements in Chapter 7.1 of the WHS Regulation (hazardous chemicals) which are regulated by WHSQ.

A triangular red YIELD sign means slow down, be ready to stop, and let traffic (including people walking or riding bikes) pass before you go ahead. Go only when it is safe.

An example of flammable liquid category 4 is diesel. So, the use, storage and handling of diesel is subject to the requirements of the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 as a hazardous chemical (Part 7.1). While combustible liquids having a flash point >93°C are not classified as hazardous chemicals and therefore not subject to Part 7.1, they are addressed by the general provisions in terms of hazard identification and management of associated risks, storage of combustible substances (r53), and contribution to fire loads (r359).

Service stations are a likely place that a member of the public comes into contact with flammable and combustible liquids on a regular basis. Further information on service stations shows how operators can manage their hazardous chemical risks.

Types of road signs are divided into three basic categories: regulatory, warning, and guide signs. The shape of a traffic sign communicates important information about the sign's message. In poor visibility conditions, such as heavy fog, you may be able to make out only the shape of a sign. The following section will give you an understanding of the signs that are commonly used on the US roads. Neglecting to obey the road signs results in a traffic violation, but to obey the sign, everyone on the road, regardless of whether you are a pedestrian or a driver, needs to know the meaning of each specific sign. Read the following section to get to know how they differ from each other by the color and shape.

The repeal of the Dangerous Goods Safety Management Act 2001 has resulted in the abolition of the flammable and combustible liquids (FCL) licences being run by local governments. This means that all FCL licences ceased to have effect on 31 December 2011.

We deeply acknowledge and pay respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and their Elders past and present. We thank the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia for their ongoing custodianship of land, waters, culture and community.

The fire and explosion risks page provides an overview of relevant risk controls including managing hazardous areas and hot work activities and controlling ignition sources.

Many road signs warn you to slow down or watch for hazards or special conditions ahead. Most warning signs are yellow and diamond-shaped with black letters or symbols. Some common warning signs are shown on the next slides.

A person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) has specific duties to store and handle their hazardous chemicals (including flammable liquids and certain combustible liquids), including:

Route signs mark federal interstates, state highways, and county or municipal roadways. The interstate system uses a shield symbol that is blue on the bottom and has a red band across the top.

Many street crossings have pedestrian signals that show the words WALK and DON'T WALK or show a WALKING PERSON in white and a RAISED HAND in orange. Pedestrian signals direct pedestrians while crossing the street. The WALK or WALKING PERSON appears when it is legal to start crossing.

Specific guidance on the safe storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids is available in the Australian Standard, AS1940: The storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids. This standard covers the following topics:

For flammable liquid classifications, GHS categories 1-3 are equivalent to the ADG code packing group I-III. A change is that GHS has introduced category 4 which overlaps with the C1 combustible liquids as defined in AS1940.
